A big blast was made on Wednesday

rocks flew to great dista nee.
Tie and rail laying is now going on
rapidly. Rails have been laid all along
Railroad street. and some distance along
the rocks.
The ties from the old Irondale road are
taken up as fast as necessary and thrown
down on the bank of the creek. The road
has been used for many years and the ties
are pretty well rotted
The water in the race leading to the
lrondale furnace was partially drawn of
Sunday so as to give better opportunity
of constructing bridge for the rail
road. The low water gave fine oppor
tunity for catching catfish aud ees and a
great number took advantage of it.
